Additional examples:
match on Action
180° Rule
Here is a video YouTube showing an example of match on action from the latest bond film, Spectre:
-
The scene shows both of the characters fighting on a train, the first example of match on action in this sequence is when the characters are thrown through the wall of the cabin on the train. Just as the characters go through the wall, you can see that the shot quickly changes as they break through the wall. This makes the scene feel a lot faster and intense for the audience.
-
Another example of match on action from this sequence is at the very end of the clip where the character knocks down the ‘pole’ holding the shelf up. As the character goes to swing for James Bond, the camera suddenly switches similarly as before to when the shelf is knocked down. This has a very similar effect upon the audience when this is taking pace.
An example of a production where the 180° rule in action would be a sit-com, sit-coms commonly use the 180 degree role in order to shoot scenes. One of the reasons this show uses the 180° rule is due to the fact that the show is shot in front of a studio audience. From this clip of the hit show, 'The Big Bang Theory', you can see that the camera never crosses the 180° line however it still uses multiple cameras to shoot the scene from different angles.
